House Sitting in Lake Barcroft

“Renee was lovely. She seemed to have a visceral, almost immediate rapport with my dog, Romeo. Perhaps because she wasn’t glued to a smartphone or distracted by any screen whatsoever, Renee responded promptly to my queries and communications. A very unusual scenario these days I think. Her opinions and observations stemmed from years of experience and success in the field and were a comfort to hear. I would gladly hire her again.”

“Oriana was absolutely amazing with our dog Daisy! Daisy can be reactive and needed several medications and Oriana handled everything perfectly. She sent regular updates and many pictures of Daisy which we loved to see. And she left our home spotless! We will definitely ask Oriana to watch Daisy again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic. She communicated regularly and sent pictures often. She also went above and beyond cleaning up which was a nice surprise after a week of business travel. I would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again.”

“Makaylah is a natural with animals and was a lifesaver when I had to take an unexpected trip. My dogs can be a bit wild with new people, but she quickly put them (and me) at ease. She kept me updated with plenty of photos showing all the snuggles and fun, which gave me real peace of mind. I’d absolutely trust her with them again.”

“Kyle was awesome – he took great care of our dog Maya and gave plenty of updates. He also dealt with some unexpected issues with our home, and even helped coordinate building maintenance to start on repairs. We'll absolutely use Kyle as a sitter again.”

“Ajia was amazing with our two boys. She is very communicative, leaving us with no worries during our trip, super responsive to our messages and took great care of my apartment. I think we found our permanent walker.”

“Ashley was so respectful of our home and took such great care of our dogs! When we returned, they were clearly happy and that made me very happy. She was very easy to communicate with and overall incredible. Would recommend especially if you’re anxious leaving your animals.”

“Juan was ABSOUTLEY amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure my nephew Apollo’s was comfortable and loved. He also went even further resetting the whole house (cleaning dishes, comforter, etc.)! When ever Apollo is in VA I will always make sure I check if Juan is available first before looking for other sitters. Juan’s communication was also stellar! Sending pictures and constant contact which helped my anxiety tremendously. He followed my provided guide with flying colors and when Apollo got a little sick helped him back to perfect stool! Thank you so much Juan we really appreciate your care for animals and your attention to detail!”

“Andrea is a great house/dogsitter. I booked her for the first time last weekend. She was very responsive and we had a very constructive meet and greet, during which she asked many questions and took copious notes. Andrea reached out to me—without prompting—before she arrived the day of her sitting, to confirm she was coming and what time she’d be there, which placed me at ease. During her stay, Andrea gave me appropriate status checks, including when she left. She left the house in great shape. I would definitely recommend Andrea for house sitting and intend to use her again soon.”

“Vivian was great! I booked her on short notice and she was awesome at sending updates every day. My dogs are a little anxious around strangers but they seemed perfectly comfortable with her. I’ll absolutely keep her in mind for future bookings!”

Bailey J.

“My dog, Chloe, felt right at home with Kelley. Kelley was very communicative and sent fun pictures and videos of my happy dog :) She also followed instructions and was very responsible. I definitely recommend hiring her to take care of your furry friend!”

Khushi C.

“He was great and kept us updated the whole time with pictures. Our finicky dog also liked him and would lay on his lap. I will definitely rebook.”

About: When I'm not around a dog I feel like something's missing. I've had at least one dog in my life for over 35 years. Taking care and giving attention to a dog is just part of my life and always has been. I'm currently working from home part-time so I have plenty of availability. This includes weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I'm also an early riser, so I'm available early in the day if needed. I'm up every morning at 6:30. My dog, Leo and I have a morning routine. We go downstairs together, and I fill his food and water bowl. I make my coffee, and while it's brewing, we go out on our first short walk. He loves cuddling next to me whenever he gets the chance. He goes out 2 to 3 more times during the day, where I try to give him a good walk. He loves to play with toys, especially if any one at home is sitting on the floor. He also has a bedtime he has set for himself, and lets me know when it's time to go to bed for the night. I am the first choice doggy sitter for family and friends!

“Marie was absolutely amazing!! She sent us plenty of updates, took care of everything, and was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish!”

Bill M.

“Kylee did an amazing job with our anxious pup! She couldn’t have been more patient or inventive, and our house was in great condition upon our return. We’ll definitely use her again!”

Jenna B.

“Jennifer was fantastic! She went above and beyond with her communication and how she took care of Chase. I got constant updates and pictures. She was extremely attentive and took care of Chase like he was her own.”

Katrine M.

“Lili took great care of my two 7 year-old cats (one of whom needs meds) for a 5-day overnight stay. She made coordination easy and sent cute pics throughout.”

Dara H.

“Korrey did such a good job with our dog. He focused on putting her at ease, and prioritized her comfort and keeping her on schedule. We really appreciated that Korrey was so communicative with issues and questions. We came home to a happy dog and a pristine house, so we'd gladly work with Korrey again!”

“The Best! Wayne and Jordan were amazing with my two rescue huskies while I was on vacation. The dogs are generally very cautious of strangers, and they were going through some sibling rivalry and needed to be kept apart - on separate floors of the house. Wayne and Jordan’s pet-sitting experience and patience were apparent in their daily communications and photos. It was great to see how the girls warmed up quickly! Each pup got lots of attention and exercise, and they were calm and happy when I got home. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The icing on the cake - the bedding was all washed and the house was clean when I got home. Highly Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We were grateful for Sophia to care for our home and pets. She did a great job and was very professional, and cared for everything well. We would recommend her and would work with her again.”
